Two poems stapled to the contest entry form. Make sure name does NOT appear on the poem itself. STRICT DEADLINE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO GET THE FORMS SIGNED. THANKS.
Today, we used the poetry criteria sheet to self-assess and edit poem 4. If you were absent today, Print a copy of poem 4 and edit it on the paper. You are marked on how well you can edit. FOLLOW THE CRITERIA ON THE SHEET. If you were absent, arrive with this edited poem tomorrow and submit for marks.
Also, if you were away today, you will need to print out a contest entry form (2 copies) and choose the two of your four poems which you think fit the criteria best and then edit and edit and edit so there are no typos, spelling errors, missing apostrophes etc. Take your name off the poem. Print. Attach to the form.
Click on the link below and print out two copies. One for each poem.
Fill in both forms. Get a parent's signature on both.
Two poems plus the contest forms are due Wednesday because the deadline for the contest is April 22nd.
